‘So,’ I said, ‘What sort of things does your wife enjoy doing? I’ll decorate the cake to reflect her favourite hobby.’

‘Well,’ came the reply, ‘She loves crafting and making cards, but I can’t imagine that that’s possible on a cake…’

Here at Extra Mile Icing, the difficult is done immediately (to coin a well-worn witticism); the impossible just takes a little longer! I just love it when we manage to exceed our customers’ expectations, don’t you, fellow cakers?

The birthday girl was especially delighted with the little glue bottle that was exactly right – yay!
